Electric Worry

“This song is one part cover song, one part original. Half of each verse is taken from Mississippi Fred McDowell’s “Fred’s Worried Life Blues.” The rest is our own concoction. When we wrote the upbeat part of the song, I couldn’t hear the typical blues sentiment. Instead, it kind of became a motivational speaker slapping himself out of a stupor. The chorus “Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Vamanos! Vamanos!” has nothing to do with guns. It got its start long ago when Tim, and I can’t recall why, said, “Vamanos! Bang! Bang!” Add a bit of John Lee Hooker and there you go. The ripping harp solo is none other that Five Horse Johnson”s Eric Oblander.”

Well you made me weep and you made me moanWhen you caused me to leave, child, my happy home.But someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life anymore.

I get satisfaction everywhere I go.Where I lay my head - that’s where I call home.Whether barren pines, or the mission stare,Take tomorrow’s collar and give ‘em back the glare.
